Dequon is a unique African name derived from the word "Dequan," meaning "born on a Monday." It originates from the Yoruba people of West Africa, where each day was associated with a specific deity, and children were named after the day they were born, with Monday being dedicated to Oya, the goddess of wind and storms. Though not widely known outside African communities, Dequon is a distinctive and meaningful name choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet significant moniker for their child.
